Toronto, people with disabilities deserve better

Playwright Alex Bulmer received with hostility instead of hospitality
I am blind and travel with a guide dog so wanted to book a hotel room for three nights in a particular part of the city I was familiar with. I outlined all of this while on the phone with four different hotels and was stunned when one of these proposed that, because I have a guide dog, I would be charged an extra “pet” fee, which was $100 per night on top of the cost of the room. I also encourage all citizens of Ontario to speak out against discrimination of any kind. We all have a role to play in creating inclusion, a potential masterpiece that will benefit everyone.
